In an age discrimination lawsuit filed May 1, James Kasprzyk charges that a company affiliated with McDonald's makes Happy Meal toys and another McDonald's-affiliated company insures them.

That company, McDonald's Owner/Operator Insurance Co. (MOOIC), is controlled by McDonald's employees, including Vice President of Insurance Larry Long, Mr. Kasprzyk's former direct supervisor, according to the lawsuit.

"Long even joked about spending time in prison if the scheme was ever discovered.”
